And now there's support for OpenOffice/LibreOffice as front-end for the publishing system, as ODT to HTML conversion is made compatible and got combined with EPUB and PDF generation. A document template is used to provide a set of pre-defined styles for semantic markup, which serves as some kind of “contract” or “agreement” between front-end and back-end, so that the back-end knows what to expect and the formatter at the front-end knows which styles he's supposed to apply to the text.
